I didn’t do it

This georgeous chocolate lab is called Wombat, after the Australian marsupial. When I discovered her name I nodded at the resemblance. Wombats are fabulous creatures which aren’t really seen that often in the wild, but during one trip to Cradle Mountain in Tasmania I had an up close and personal experience with a BIG one.

Anyway, back to this Wombat. As you can see, she has mastered ‘the look’. The ‘there is no way I could have done it becuase I’m so darn cute’ look. In this case, she was allowed on the special rug for photos. She knew she wasn’t supposed to be there and was just making sure with Mum that it was ok to sit there.

The original processing I did on this photo had quite bright colours so I added a bit of an old school feel to bring the image back in line with the furnishings in the background. I think I like the muted colours better on this one.

In late 2007 I had the very great pleasure of photographing a litter of Labrador Retriever puppies for a breeder. There were nine puppies in black, yellow and chocolate colouring and whevever I would crouch down to take a photo they would all want to climb on top of me. I stayed for hours and played with these adorable babies (while taking photos of course) and it was one of the most fun photography sessions ever. I cannot get enough of puppy cuddles. Oh man….now I really want another puppy.

Can’t get enough of Labradors? Check out Charlie the Calendar pin-up boy, the soulful eyes of Man’s Best Friend, or even the huge Smile of a Labradoodle.
